kluf, Arthur Hugh (1819-1861), an English poet. He was born in Liverpool. He studied at Rugby and Oxford, and was much engaged with educational work. He was a friend of Matthew Arnold who commemorated him in Thyrsis and Scholar Gypsy. Clough's most noted poem is The Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich. Clough belonged to the skeptical school, of which Arnold and Swinburne are other examples. It has been said of him that "he had neither the strength to believe nor the courage to disbelieve." His poems are vigorous in tone, hopeful in spirit, and contain many noble thoughts intermingled with touches of humor and pathos. What voice did on my spirit fall, Peschiera, when thy bridge I crost? 'T is better to have fought and lost Than never to have fought at all! As I sat at the Cafe I said to myself They may talk as they please about what they call pelf, They may sneer as they like about eating and drinking, But help it I cannot, I cannot help thinking, How pleasant it is to have money, heigh-ho, How pleasant it is to have money!
